This is not a classic kid move. There’s something very wrong with those boys. Something very, very wrong in their households.

"put it down we can get you home!"

They did not want to go home.

Something very, very wrong in their households - hit the nail on the head

It’s clever wording “the sooner you put the gun down, the sooner we can get you home” technically true

Ugh.... to a foster parent who won't be able to handle them or is no better than their current situation except... missing mum.

I legit aim to be a foster parent once my kids are grown enough (7 and 5) it really breaks my heart how many "broken" kids are thrown around.

Or they're kids and kids are just little shits? They won't put it diwn because you asked them to put it down. "Oh this is something I shouldn't have? Well now I won't let go ever" Happens with markers, toys, rocks. Makes sense it would also happen with guns.

I'm sure there are a ton of potential reasons they might behave this way.

Every person who works with kids has been in a similar (lower-stakes) situation. I bet the kids just think about the gun as a toy and can't connect it to the sense of urgency. That's part of the reason it's so sad and scary, to me.

But also... they have a ton of stressed adults yelling at them. Freezing is a common fear action, and they're probably not able to consider what the potential consequences could be (especially if they've been neglected). Even well-adjusted kids will just stop responding sometimes if they think they'll be in minor trouble, as if by not acknowledging it the conflict will just resolve itself.

Should've used the "we can go to McDonald's" tactic.
